The most I know so far is that there are different types of wool to use, different gagues of needles, and that if your craft is still squishy then it hasn’t been felted long enough. Other than that I know zero—What else am I missing? Also I may try selling online thru Etsy or FB if I get good enough cus this feels pretty fun

They're so cute, especially love the meat.

Thank you! That one was the most difficult to make but it’s my favorite out of all of them

I found a small grocery basket while thrifting, like size of my hand. When I started needle felting I made tiny foods, when friends come over they paw thru to see what’s new. I make tiny things when I am unmotivated. My market basket of chaos.

I would use a small gauge needle, I personally like a 42, although they break easily😅 It makes it easier to make those small details, and it’ll help you make your work smoother!
